Chapter 369: Girls’ Talk

This time, Saki and Elsa stayed over in the guest rooms on the 2nd floor. It is a Japanese styled room as requested by Elsa.

“Oh, this is an interesting room”

In the center was a Zataku and with it came the Zabuton and Zaisu.

Zataku - low table

Zabuton - floor cushion

Zaisu - legless chair or tatami chair

It seemed like Saki liked the feeling of stepping into the room barefooted.

“This is called a Tatami. I like to lie down on here.”

Elsa flopped down onto the floor and Saki, copying her actions, lied down too.

“It’s cool and not damp at all. We can’t get this feeling with carpets”

Saki also came to like lying down.

“Yup! And then, this futon.”

On the other side of the sliding door, there were futons spread out in the next room.

“This is really comfortable to sleep on.”

The futons that the Golem Maids dried were nice and fluffy.

Incidentally, the futons used in Martha’s estate have all been exchanged for the same type.

And for the villagers in Kaina Village, they plan on setting the price of the futon as the price of a normal one as a special value. The manufacturer being Elsa.

“The futon that Jin-nii sent Rai-nii was one like this”

Saki followed Elsa’s actions, lying down beside her and was once again surprised.

“This is wonderful! I want one in my house now too”

That is the impression that everyone will have after sleeping on this futon.

“Then, I will make one for you next time”

“Thank you, Elsa!”

Saki happily hugged Elsa on top of the futon. This was a dangerous scene to look at.

Because it was still early and Saki was from Shouro Empire with a time difference, it was too early to sleep.

The two of them headed back to the previous room and sat at the zataku.

Saki was wearing the pajamas for guests so it was comfortable. There was nothing left to explore so Saki returned to her lax position.

In other words, she was lying down and holding her head with her hand. Somewhat like an old man.

“You never change huh, Saki-nee”

“Kufu, yeah, I am me after all. You’re well mannered as usual too, Elsa.”

When she was young, Saki had been strictly taught manners which had backlashed and now she sometimes ends up showing herself in this manner. On the other hand, Elsa was so well mannered that it seemed like a lie that she was a tomboy in her earlier years.

“Yes, I have also been told that by mother”

“Aah, I see. As I thought, you told me Mine…no, Mine-san was your mother.”

Just like Reinhart, Saki too speculated that Mine was Elsa’s mother.

“But, how should I put it, Mine-san back then was so fierce but when I met her today, she seems really gentle and nice.”

“Mm, Mother is really kind.”

Elsa showed Saki a happy smile, affirming her statement.

“Elsa, you’ve got a nice smile now. Before you left on your journey, you seemed like you lack emotions. And, how’s our meeting after all this time? Is it thanks to Jin?”

“Yes. I owe Jin-nii a lot.”

“…I didn’t mean it that way but… I guess it’s fine. Elsa, if it’s alright with you, will you let me hear the continuation of the story you were telling me in the bath? Since this is the first time I left my country, I am really interested.”

“Okay”

Answering Saki’s request, Elsa continued her story, stammering. Saki also sat up to listen.

She had told Saki from the day she departed with Reinhardt to the part where Reinhardt’s Schwarzlitter destroyed the Amadas Warrior in Serroa Kingdom.

“Um. After that, we headed to Elias Kingdom…”

She talked about the Golem Boat tournament she participated in the Elias Kingdom, which is also where she met Jin.

About how she started her journey with Jin. All the memories of Flathead Village, Moft Village, Hanbalf Pass.

The time when they were attacked by bandits and golems.

The time when she became friends with Hina in the Egeria Kingdom.

The Golem Party and the riot.

The time she ran away because she didn’t want to be engaged with the marquis.

The stories continued and before they knew it, it was already midnight, but thanks to the auto light-emitting AL, the two continued their story.

“I see, I understand that feeling. Elsa and that marquis don’t fit well with each other at all. That pervert.”

When it came to the story of Elsa running, Saki was angered by the desire of that old man. She exclaimed that it’s because of him Elsa was put in danger.

“Yes…but father probably wished for it.”

“Well, that might be a possibility too. But, that wouldn’t have happened if that old man didn’t fall for you in the first place.”

Saki urged Elsa to continue her story which Elsa once again, started.

The time when she was saved by Jin. The time when she was introduced as Jin’s younger si
